British TV talent show judge Piers Morgan said the 48-year-old spinster, dubbed the Hairy Angel, was struggling to cope with the pressures of fame after she reportedly unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade at the hotel where the contestants are staying.
Susan Boyle had even packed her bags Wednesday in preparation to quit ahead of the final of ITV's "Britain's Got Talent" show Saturday,Morgan said.
Writing on his blog earlier, Morgan - a former tabloid newspaper editor - described Boyle as a "frightened rabbit" and called for her critics to "back off."
He wrote, "Susan is finding it very, very difficult to cope, and to stay calm.
"She has been in tears many times during the last few days... she's had to read stories and columns, and listen to radio and TV phone-ins, calling her arrogant, insincere, spoiled, fake, mad and so on.
"Susan Boyle has never experienced anything like this and is like a frightened rabbit in headlights".
Morgan said Boyle had shown the weight of expectation on her shoulders during a wobbly performance last weekend.
